Affliction: Unchained Hearts, Book 1

Cilla Cilla St. James never believed in fairy tales until she fell in love at first sight with a man who was everything she ever wanted. Awkward, barely scraping by as a waitress, and as plump as a Christmas ham, she never thought anyone would ever look at her twice. She didn't think anyone could ever make her believe that she was worth loving. But he did. Patriot Johnny "Patriot" Smith spent 15 years serving his country, only to come home with a soul so tainted, not even the Devil could look upon it. Now, the VP of the Unchained MC, he's dedicated his life to a new brotherhood. A man so tainted could never expect to experience the beauty of true innocence. But then he saw her. And she changed everything. She became his affliction... his redemption, his obsession. He just had to convince the skittish Cilla that what they had was real... and hope that the bite of poisonous deception doesn't destroy the one thing he'd sell his soul to keep. Affliction is the first book in the Unchained Hearts series. While the men in this book are members of an MC, these books will focus on the men, their women, and overcoming obstacles to find their happily ever after. Affliction is an age gap, insta-love, other woman drama romance, featuring an ex-Army biker and a plus-sized heroine. There is no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a heartwarming HEA.
